Peyton Manning
Ryan Leaf - bust
Tim Couch - bust
Donovan McNabb
Akili Smith - bust
Daunte Culpepper - he had a nice career
Cade McNown
Chad Pennington - weak arm, but solid game manager
Michael Vick - drafted for athletic ability, faded once folks knew how to stop him. Did lead Falcons to playoffs early in career.
David Carr - bust
Joey Harrington - bust
Patrick Ramsey - bust
Carson Palmer - Good career thusfar
Byron Leftwich - had some solid years in Jax, led team to playoffs if I'm not mistaken.
Kyle Boller - Bust
Rex Grossman - did lead team to super bowl, but overall underperformed his draft status.
Eli Manning
Philip Rivers
Ben Roethlisberger
J.P. Losman
Alex Smith
Aaron Rodgers
Jason Campbell - I wouldn't classify JC as a "really good QB".
Vince Young - hasn't justified his draft position, but we'll see if he's a bust by his performance next year.
Matt Leinart
Jay Cutler
Jamarcus Russell
Brady Quinn - I'd like to see him with another team before he's classified as a bust. The dysfunction in Cleveland is worse than here. I'd actually like to see him brought in here for a shot.

Are you saying we shouldn't draft a QB in the first round because 50% of these guys don't work out? Should we not have drafted JC in the first round (my opinion in hindsight is that Gibbs missed on this one)?

Not only did Gibbs miss on JC he gave away 3 draft picks to wiff. Talk about compounding the felony.
